Yankee Candle have recently released their Passport To The Holidays collection, which includes Big Apple Christmas, London Christmas Tea, Parisian Holiday Brunch, Munich Christmas Market, and North Pole Hideaway, and being the Candle addict that I am, as soon as I had heard that they had been released, I obviously had to hop on to their Website and pick them all up. Well i’ve been burning them for a little while now, and I thought that I would tell you what I thought of them.
Here’s what Yankee Candle say about all five delicious smelling Candles.
The Yankee Candle Big Apple Christmas.
Take a tour through the vibrant streets of the Big Apple, New York City, at Christmas, enjoying the scents of fresh Apples, Festive Spices, and melted Sugarcane. Yankee Candle Big Apple Christmas also contains top notes of Candy Apple, Pear and Caramel, heart notes of Festive Spices, Cinnamon and Almond, and base notes of Melted Sugarcane, Musk and Vanilla Bean.
The Yankee Candle London Christmas Tea.
The warmth of your Afternoon Tea makes Christmas in London even more perfect with aromas of Ginger, Black Tea, and Cinnamon Woods.

The Yankee Candle Parisian Holiday Brunch.
Be swept away to a dreamy Bakery in Paris filled with the enticing notes of buttery Croissants, Raspberry Preserves, Fig, and Brown Sugar. Yankee Candle Parisian Holiday Brunch also contains top notes of Orange, Rhubarb Jam and Fig Spread, heart notes of Buttery Croissant, Biscuit Crumbs and Brown Sugar, and base notes of Creamy Coconut, Raspberry Preserves and Vanilla.
The Yankee Candle Munich Christmas Market.
Visit a lively Christmas Market in Munich and tempt yourself with the scent of sweet Biscuits with notes of Orange, Star Anise, and Dark Chocolate. Yankee Candle Munich Christmas Market also contains top notes of Juicy Orange, Citrus Zest and Nutmeg, heart notes of Star Anise, Crushed cinnamon and Pomander, and base notes of Dark Chocolate, Graham Crackers and Biscuits.

It’s scent.
I really liked it’s scent, as even though it contained Pear, Cinnamon, and Musk, I thought that it had a delicious fresh and fruity yet ever so slightly sweet Apple scent to it that kind of reminded me of the scent you smell whenever you cut up some Apples to make an Apple Pie. I could definitely smell the Candy Apple, Pear, Cinnamon, Almond, Melted Sugarcane, and Vanilla, as I thought that they were all what gave it it’s delicious fresh and fruity yet ever so slightly sweet Apple scent, but I couldn’t really smell any of the Caramel, Festive Spices, or Musk, as I thought that all of the other scents kind of overpowered them a little.
It’s scent throw.
I really liked it’s scent throw, as this managed to fill my Room, the entire top floor of my House and even some of the downstairs with it’s delicious fresh and fruity yet ever so slightly sweet Apple scent that lasted for hours even after I had blown it out.
It’s burn time.
It said that you were supposed to get up to 150 hours of burn time out of this, but as I always kept my Wicks trimmed, I easily got at least 160 hours of delicious fresh and fruity yet ever so slightly sweet Apple scent out of it.

It’s scent.
I really liked it’s scent, as even though it contained Ginger, Orange Zest, and Vetiver, I thought that it had a delicious deep and musky yet ever so slightly spicy Black Tea scent to it that kind of reminded me of the scent you smell whenever you walk into a Tea Shop on a freezing cold Winter’s Day. I could definitely smell the Cinnamon, Ginger, Black Tea, Guaiac, Star Anise, Black Pepper, and Cinnamon Woods, as I thought that they were all what gave it it’s delicious deep and musky yet ever so slightly spicy Black Tea scent, but I couldn’t really smell any of the Golden Peppercorn, Orange Zest, or Vetiver, as I thought that all of the other scents kind of overpowered them a little.
It’s scent throw.
I wasn’t really a massive fan of it’s scent throw, as even though this smelt incredibly strong in it’s Jar, it was unfortunately one of those scents that I only really noticed once I had gone out of and had come back into the Room again.
It’s burn time.
It said that you were supposed to get up to 150 hours of burn time out of this, but as I always kept my Wicks trimmed, I easily got at least 155 hours of delicious deep and musky yet ever so slightly spicy Black Tea scent out of it.

It’s scent.
I absolutely loved it’s scent, as even though it contained Fig Spread, Biscuit Crumbs, and Creamy Coconut, I thought that it had a delicious sweet and fruity yet ever so slightly creamy Raspberry Jam scent to it that kind of reminded me of eating a Scone covered in some Clotted Cream and Raspberry Jam on a balmy Spring Afternoon. I could definitely smell the Orange, Fig Spread, Buttery Croissant, Biscuit Crumbs, Brown Sugar, Creamy Coconut, and Raspberry Preserve, as I thought that they were all what gave it it’s delicious sweet and fruity yet ever so slightly creamy Raspberry Jam scent, but I couldn’t really smell any of the Rhubarb Jam or Vanilla, as I thought that all of the other scents kind of overpowered them a little.

I absolutely loved it’s scent, as even though it contained Orange Zest, Cinnamon, and Graham Crackers, I thought that it had a delicious deep and chocolatey yet ever so slightly spicy Stroopwaffel scent to it that kind of reminded me of eating a massive Stroopwaffle outside a very busy Cafe on a balmy Autumn Afternoon. I could definitely smell the Citrus Zest, Nutmeg, Star Anise, Crushed Cinnamon, Dark Chocolate, and Graham Cracker, as I thought that they were all what gave it it’s delicious deep and chocolatey yet ever so slightly spicy Stroopwaffle scent, but I couldn’t really smell any of the Orange, Pomander, or Biscuits, as I thought that all of the other scents kind of overpowered them a little.

I absolutely loved it’s scent, as even though it contained Chilled Bergamot, Artic Air, and White Musk, I thought that it had a delicious fresh and icy yet ever so slightly grassy Frozen Air scent to it that kind of reminded me of the scent you smell whenever you open your Door after it’s just finished Snowing on a freezing cold Winter’s Day. I could definitely smell the Sparkling Snowflakes, Frosted Greens, Artic Mint, Icy Air, Glacial Water, and Snow Powder, as I thought that they were all what gave it it’s delicious fresh and icy yet ever so slightly grassy Frosted Air scent, but I couldn’t really smell any of the Chilled Bergamot, White Musk, or Soft Amber, as I thought that all of the other scents kind of overpowered them a little.

My overall thoughts.
Overall I would have to rate the Yankee Candle Big Apple Christmas a seven point five out of ten, the Yankee Candle London Christmas Tea an eight out of ten, the Yankee Candle Parisian Holiday Brunch an eight point five out of ten, the Yankee Candle Munich Christmas Market a nine out of ten, and the Yankee Candle North Pole Hideaway an eight out of ten. I really liked the Yankee Candle Big Apple Christmas, as I absolutely loved it’s delicious fresh and fruity yet ever so slightly sweet Apple scent, it’s scent throw, and it’s burn time, but I just thought that it’s scent was a little bit basic and that you could probably find something very similar in the Home Fragrance Isle of your local Supermarket. I really liked the Yankee Candle London Christmas Tea, as I absolutely loved it’s delicious deep and musky yet ever so slightly spicy Black Tea scent, and it’s burn time, but I just wish that it’s scent throw had been a little bit stronger. I really liked the Yankee Candle Parisian Holiday Brunch, as I absolutely loved it’s delicious sweet and fruity yet ever so slightly creamy Raspberry Jam scent, it’s scent throw, and it’s burn time, but I just wish that it was part of their main range. I really liked the Yankee Candle Munich Christmas Market, as I absolutely loved it’s delicious deep and chocolatey yet ever so slightly spicy Stroopwaffle scent, it’s scent throw, and it’s burn time, but I just wish that it was part of their main range. I really liked the Yankee Candle North Pole Hideaway, as I absolutely loved it’s delicious fresh and icy yet ever so slightly grassy Frosted Air scent, it’s scent throw, and it’s burn time, but I just wish that it had contained a little bit of Eucalyptus to round it’s scent off.
